I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 212 I have mysophobia
In order to grow up as a future writer, Xia Qingdai put aside the plot of helping others and did not interfere with Jane's love. The poor Thomas could only leave with regret and did not propose to Jane.

Xia Qingdai knew that in two years' time when the other party graduated from college, he would follow the trajectory of history and meet her in the town where Jane was, so she did not regret Jane's fruitless summer affair.

Thomas' departure was naturally very disappointing for Jane, but it was a good thing for Xia Qingdai. Jane finally belonged to her completely again!
They can swim together, play the piano and sing together, ride the merry-go-round together, and are inseparable.

Owen rarely goes out. He has guessed the truth that Xia Qingdai cannot stay too far away from him in the human world. Therefore, if he could invite people to his home to do things, he would invite them to come instead of running out himself.

Only after Xia Qingdai returns to her room at night, will Owen drive out to experience London's nightlife.

At night in this era, off-road vehicles with bright headlights are the most dazzling stars in the night.

Even in the city of London where public security is in a mess, no one who is short-sighted would dare to mess with the owner of this car.

The underground forces in London were frightened once by Xia Qingdai in the sky, so they stayed away from people closely related to this car and never crossed the line.

Therefore, when Irving goes out at night, he always has the illusion that the city of London is in good order. The thief who squeezed past him at the door of the Opera House wouldn't steal from anyone. He would retreat when he saw him. It was as if all the thieves in London knew him.

Xia Qingdai went to the opera several times with Jane and Owen, and found that the most popular drama here was the Aristocrat and Cinderella series.

The domineering presidents in each historical period wear different vests. It is truly an enduring theme throughout the ages and at home and abroad.

As for the elegant concert, Xia Qingdai also went to it once. Quite coincidentally, what she was listening to was one of Haydn's "London Symphony".

It is a prank-like symphony in history that the first part of the melody is soothing and dull, but when the arty ladies are drowsy, a fierce sound suddenly comes and wakes them up.

When Xia Qingdai read this section from historical data, she found Haydn quite interesting. Haydn probably felt aggrieved that he had to please people who didn't know how to appreciate music, but he did create a musical treasure.

So when Xia Qingdai heard a particularly gentle and sleepy melody, she was extra energetic and concentrated on waiting for the thunderous climax to arrive.

After a moment, powerful music came on, and the corners of Xia Qingdai's mouth were slightly raised, as steady as a rock. And Miss Helena, who was sitting in the same box as her, almost slipped off her chair in shock.

Compared to the calm Xia Qingdai, Miss Helena was very angry with her performance!

But today, all the people sitting in this box were high-profile people, and the servants were all guarding outside. She couldn't find anyone to lose her temper with, so she became even more angry.

She wanted to offend Haydn on the stage, but it was not that easy. You can’t say that you don’t know how to appreciate music, but you almost fell asleep in the middle of it!
Upper-class girls in the eighteenth century could not understand arithmetic, business, this or that; but they definitely could not understand painting, music and dancing!
This is a symbol of their charm, and the tutor is mainly responsible for teaching them this.

Facing a long-famous musician like Haydn, Helena could dislike it in her heart, but she couldn't show it, so she could only endure it with resentment.

Xia Qingdai was very sensitive to the resentment of the girl next to her, and couldn't help but look at her several times.

In fact, Xia Qingdai thinks Helena is quite interesting, and she is not the same as a well-behaved lady. She appears to be a lady, but in fact she is wild inside, full of energy that a seventeen-year-old girl cannot vent. She exuded an attractive and lively radiance. During parties, she would deliberately choose an open area so that boys could gather around her.

She enjoys the feeling of being admired by the stars and doesn't care what other girls think of her.

That's why Owen didn't care about her at first, which made her hold a grudge for several days. Until now, I am still trying my best to get Owen to kneel down and sing Conquer - but it doesn't work.

Xia Qingdai didn't like this arrogant noble lady at first, thinking she was too teasing. But after a few contacts, I found that she was quite interesting, much more interesting than Owen's two cousins.

In addition, we are neighbors, so it is inevitable that we will visit each other and become familiar with each other.

Isn't the biggest pastime of these idle nobles these days a constant gathering with people of the same class?

Men chat, play cards, and race horses; women chat, drink tea, and arrange flowers; when men and women are together, they are constantly spinning and jumping, singing and dancing.

During the time that Xia Qingdai was in London, she became familiar with her neighbors.

Now her experimental patients were not only old Mrs. Owen, but also many neighbor ladies.

Ladies are a little reluctant to have long silver needles stuck in their bodies, which is as scary as being bled by doctors. But I really like cupping, massage, and medicinal fumigation. I fell in love with it after trying it once.

Xia Qingdai also accepted everyone who came, so she treated it as free practice.

The last time she came to London, the reputation of the miracle doctor was only spread among the middle and lower classes. This time I came here and became famous among the ladies of the upper class.

But this kind of reputation is of little use to Xia Qingdai, and she doesn't marry based on her reputation.

Her biggest achievement was that she contacted the director of the London Hospital through the lady, and got the opportunity to work with doctors and medical school professors to dissect anatomy.

Western medicine in this era is not very good at treating diseases, but some theories about the structure of the human body are very advanced. Because unlike China, where there are many taboos about corpses, there is a lot of research work on blatant dissection of human bodies.

Some surgeons were even busy dissecting corpses one second and operating on patients the next, so the patient mortality rate in this era was particularly high.

No matter how many theories there are, no matter how many corpses are dissected, and no matter how much we understand about the human body, without the concept of microorganisms, this barbaric growth of Western medicine will not be very clever and can only be done on three axes.

It would be wrong to say that Western medicine is completely unaware of infection. However, due to various interest entanglements, even setting a rule for hand washing and disinfection will be a long struggle and require a bloody price.

No doctor is willing to admit that the patient's condition worsened and died after surgery because he did not wash his hands.

This pot was too big. All the doctors worked together to oppose it, and Xia Qingdai did not force her opinions to be expressed.
